Deliberate mistake: While the events depicted in the film take place over nearly a decade and a half, the characters are not shown as having aged at all throughout the film, apart from Mike Lazaridis. In fact, characters are seen wearing the same clothes and the same ties between scenes that are set years apart.
Factual error: In the film, Blackberry is shown being "raided" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a Canadian company with its headquarters in Canada, the SEC, by itself, has no jurisdiction to effectuate such a raid on the premises. In real life, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) brought the case against Blackberry co-CEO, Jim Balsillie.
